Who is "we" in "even if we don't encourage it..."? In fact, this is a fairly dumb idea, and *we* should encourage building the base system with as many different compilers as possible. It's called portability and allows one to find bugs that the annointed compiler might miss or actually cause. -- SteveReceived on Wed Apr 02 2014 - 18:22:18 UTC
